Healing and Hope-Kristen Traverse

What happens when a healthcare professional suddenly becomes the patient? In this episode, we sit down with Kristen Traverse, a Developmental Health and Educational Consultant, Registered Nurse and Neuromovement practitioner from Kitscoty, Alberta, to discuss her extraordinary journey of resilience. At just 31 years old, Kristen suffered a severe stroke that robbed her of her ability to speak, read, and write, leaving her with aphasia and apraxia. Kristen opens up about the reality of losing her voice, the grueling process of relearning how to communicate, and how she discovered innovative therapies like NeuroMovement to literally rewire her brain.
